Maintenance & safety
There are several steps to follow when setting up a Belt Conveyor. Belt centering is performed on a running machine. Please note that you will need to be extra vigilant in complying with safety instructions and recommendations.
A test run may be necessary by starting up the installation, after taking care to reinstall all protective devices and remove all foreign objects (tools, stones, ballast, etc.), and repeat the tensioning operations on the Belt.
If, after centering the belt, the 2 strands (top and bottom) are offset to one side, release the bolts on several roller supports. Use a hammer to move the idler support to the side of the Belt offset. In this case, you'll need to be in the direction of belt travel on the side where it's offset, or in the opposite direction. Repeat this procedure on several supports until the Belt is recentered. Finally, tighten the Idlers support bolts.
Once the Belt is centered, check if necessary and adjust the loaded Belt. Make sure that the belt feed is centered and vertical in the conveyor's feed trough.
